PvP in this game is practically nonexistent, so it seems silly to me to base one’s build on it. Wouldn’t it be more practical to base our builds on the enemies we’ll actually face?

Wow, I can’t believe it took until the last post of page 4 for people to realize that question. To add insult to injury, the village idiot is the one who asked it. Oh well, a stopped clock is right twice a day and all that. To answer the question: no, there is no point in building for PvP because the AI will be controlling one of the players, and the AI is an idiot. Question: what enemy is there to face that would actually require an optimal build? Only one I can think of is CoT 3, and there’s currently no possible situation in which facing him would be an optimal choice.
TL;DR of whole topic: the optimal build for the game is far too hard to figure out considering there is no use for it, and the world is filled with people who need to read the book “How to win an argument” which I swear is an actual book which I read once.

Everyone has their own thing to do that they feel works best for them.
If a book were named “How to win an argument over the internet”, there would only be one page with a single word. And it would say “Impossible.”
Everyone is hell-bent on their own opinion on the internet, I find arguing to be pretty pointless here. This isn’t debate club, or the Presidential Debates, it’s Kongregate.

Actually, it’d probably be empty, like the book “What men know about women” which is actually sold in stores, and which people presumably actually buy.

I mostly just like making combat simulators. I find them interesting to make, and I love trying to work out which strategies work best in them. I especially like trying to apply mathematics to the creation of strategies. For example, I once worked out a system of equations for a tower defense game that allowed me to approximate the best strategies possible. I’m sure I could have figured it out by actually testing different strategies (and it would have been faster), but I thought it was pretty cool.

I’m not making a big deal of it either. I’m just baffled by you taking offense. I have no idea why it was offensive to you, and that bugs me. I don’t mind offending people. I just hate doing it unintentionally. As Oscar Wilde said:

was the book any good ? checked amazon and there seems to be several books with that title. any chance you remember the author ? sounds interesting :D

I’ve finished the text about the Seraphiel’s attack; **part 2** included, I calculated the attack estimation using some equipments _(angel slayer, galaxy sword, water galaxy sword, ultimate galaxy sword, epic blades III)._
For example, to beat the quest 12-5 using 2 Ice Blasts II (see the part 1), Seraphiel needs to have at least attack = 90734. But, if you see the part 2 (considering the farm gear), you’ll noticed that you only can farm 12-5 if you have at least 2 Water Swords and level \> 9000 (attack = 92202). So, hardly 12-5 can be farmable using Seraphiel.
And if the charts/text are incomprehensible, please let me know.

Sera’s charts reviewed and recalculated based on version 1.55. All CoTs got buffed and some later quests.

> because max xp is 9999 this farm is useless
This statement is of course wrong, cause unless you reset your stats this high end farm helps a lot for ppl which allocated ~20k attack to farm with seraphiel
And run out of 400+ Ap options in arena

I myself used thunder shield more then storm. But as it is the elf’s requests…..

Should update, like “12-3 using one Ice Blaster II”.

Thanks for notice that!
And I updated the Sera’s chart and added CoT 7, CoT 8 and the farms.
